Changing Text Color Of List View In Android

I am trying to change the text color of a listview in Android. Can anyone please give me a heads up on how it's done?

Solution 1:

Yes possible

please add a separate layout with the textview

<LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent" ><TextViewandroid:id="@android:id/text1"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:gravity="center_vertical"android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"android:paddingLeft="6dip"android:textColor="@color/black"android:paddingRight="10dip"android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" /></LinearLayout>

and change the **android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1** to and pass the textview id like this

new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.layoutfilename,*android.R.id.text1*,userList);

Solution 2:

You can use themes to set the styles for your TextViews. From the Android dev site.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources><stylename="CodeFont"parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium"><itemname="android:textColor">#00FF00</item><itemname="android:typeface">monospace</item></style></resources>

Then to use it:

<TextViewstyle="@style/CodeFont" />

Edit - based on comment

You asked about multiple color in the same TextView: Your best bet is to use html. Which you set in a TextView for example:

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<p style="color:red">" + someText + "</p><p style="color:blue">" + someOtherText + "</p>"));

Solution 3:

Have you tried something like android:textColor="#ffffff" in your layout.xml file?
